It's takes a special breed of person to deal with dirt on the scale of the annual mark lifting!
Every year, all the racing marks are hauled out onto Viking and then brought ashore for a good clean, re-painting and maintenance on their tackle. It's filthy, exhausting work but essential if we're to have marks to race around for the rest of the year.
Many thanks to John Harvey, Steve Dadd, Gary Owens, Nick Munson, Steve Staples, Nick Frampton and Steve HB for literally mucking in and getting the job done. All expertly managed and sprayed down afterwards by Phil Norris last Saturday. Well done chaps!
